Proof of Claim Form Information - DoctorCare, Inc. HMO
I am a creditor of Doctorcare (other than a provider or subscriber) that is owed money for
good and services
provided prior to December 1, 2006 that were supposed to be paid by DoctorCare. What is the procedure for filing my claim?
Claims for services or goods provided to DoctorCare prior to December 1, 2006
(other than a provider or subscriber) must be filed with the Receiver using a
proof of claim form. On September 24, 2007, the Receiver mailed proof of claim
forms to all known general creditors, employees, agents and
shareholders. In order to timely file your claim, you will need to
complete the proof of claim form and mail it back to the Receiver along with
supporting documentation prior to 11:59 p.m. on December 3, 2007 which is the
claims filing deadline.
If I am a creditor that is not a former subscriber or provider of DoctorCare and I have not received a proof of
claim form, what should I do?
Proof of claim forms were mailed to all known general creditors, employees, agents and
shareholders on September 24, 2007. If you have not received a proof of claim form in the mail by mid October 2007, please contact the
Receiver using our "Contact Us" form or by calling 850-413-3081
and a proof of claim form will be
generated and mailed to you.
What is the procedure for the filing and evaluation of a claim?
The procedure for the filing and evaluation of claims in a receivership is set out in Part I, Chapter 631, Florida Statutes.
Assuming there are sufficient assets in the receivership, the Receiver will evaluate claims in order of their priority as set out in
Section 631.271, Florida Statutes. This statute establishes a system of priorities in paying claims. When the evaluation process has
been completed, the Receiver will file a report with the Court setting out our recommendations as to the amounts, if any, which should
be allowed on each of the claims evaluated. Notice of the Receiver’s recommendations and the deadline for filing any objections to the
recommendations will then be provided to the claimants. It is unlikely that claimants will receive any correspondence or other
communication from the Receiver until that time unless the Receiver has questions regarding the claim which has been filed. This is
because the Receiver is trying to minimize the claims’ processing costs in order to maximize potential distribution to the claimants.
During the claims evaluation period, the Receiver also commences litigation and/or takes whatever other action is necessary to
collect and maximize the assets of the receivership estate. Please note: it may be several years before distributions, if any, are
made in this receivership. Distributions of assets are made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the priority of claims which is set
out in Section 631.271, Florida Statutes. Those whose claims fall into lower priorities are paid only if there is money left after
paying the higher priority claims. It is too early in the receivership process for the Receiver to provide any estimate as to the
timing and/or the pro rata percentage of the distributions, if any, which may be made in this receivership.
